What are some good ways to kill myself?

Post Reply New Topic

Just wondering what my options are.

1. Asphyxiation via carbon monoxide poisoning.

2. Drowning myself.

3. Could have some fun with knives.

4. Natural causes or random chance at an unspecified date. Might have a lot of pointless misery and a pointless life in the middle of it.

5. I could stop eating and drinking. Already good at this one.

I'm leaning towards number 4. Does anyone have any recommendations? Has anything really worked for people here?

Option 6. Get help.

I realize that the Haven is for emotional support, but posting about why you may feel the way you do might help people understand and respond in a more helpful manner

Killing yourself is kind of easy, if you want to.

You don't want to kill yourself, you want some pity and emotional support. But what you wanna get is some 'don't do that' and that's all. Everybody will continue his life.

Go to the doctor. Get help, get some antidpressants, or some therapy. Look for a support group, or for a therapy group. Internet is not gonna solve anything.

I'm terrible at getting help, and I am terrible at talking about things. I also have no idea what you mean be antidpressants. I can't really escape from my problems, so can't I just go away forever so I don't have to bother anyone anymore.

7. Play a female night elf warrior in World of Warcraft and shut out the world. Did that once.

Just about everything worthwhile in life is never easy. Option 7 might work to put you in a better headspace, as long as you surface for air occasionally.

Suicide is a difficult thing to talk about especially for people like me who've made a serious attempt at it in the past. How do I keep the feeling from coming back? I don't. It's always there. I'm extremely avoidant, still, in the back of my mind I'm hoping to meet someone so I can focus on them instead of me.

Medication would be preferred by me, you simply sleep and never wake up. But before you do so, try getting help of a therapist or such stuff, anyway what you think about that stuff.

When I was completely done and planning my suicide, I thought to myself that at least I could try to get therapy help, because there was nothing to loose anyway. In the worst case, everything would have been as horrible as it was, then I could still kill myself, so nothing to loose. In the end it started the process of me getting in contact with therapy, seeking for the causes behind the depression, talking about all the problems I have with society and that I always seem to do anything wrong ... ending with the asperger diagnosis which helped me to at least know, what was causing my problems and finally able to work on it. (So I cant change that I have Asperger, but knowing what causes your troubles and reading lots of experiences of other Aspergers, help you to find some solutions and starting to make life a bit easier. )

8. Fly out in the middle of Lake Michigan in a small private plane, ditch, weigh myself down and never be seen again.

What are you looking to disappear from? Why do you feel like you're a burden on people? I'm just trying to understand....

I recently read a story about a guy who used blasting caps at his temples. It blew all his brains out so that when they found him, there was barely any soft tissue in what was left of the skull. Basically pureed his sphenoid bones, etc.
my thinking is that if you went for the brain, which you wouldn't feel exploding until was already exploded and you couldn't think, so you couldn't be conscious of your pain, then what you'd really get to experience is a huge blast of light and electricity in your head, a vague feeling of expansion, and then poof! you're reincarnated into a gerbil.

^Gross.

I worked a suicide once where a guy put a quarter-stick of dynamite in his mouth. By the time we got there, he just kinda ended halfway up his chest...

I meant antidepressants, like prozac or lexapro. Missed one 'e'. Though you must be very careful during the first two-three weeks if you have suicide ideas.

And don't worry. Life gets easier. Not better, but easier.

I'm not gonna say to you: hey, you don't bother. I'm sorry, I'm straightfowar honest, probably the asperger thing: people in a hard moment of their life bother. I know because I've been there. So you're right: your problems are bothering other people. But be a bit selfish. Life is unfair, and if somebody has to deal with you bothering him, not such a big deal. And if you can't help to feel guilty, fine, I understand it... well, those moments in my life I used to volunteer in charity organizations, so I could feel that someway I was 'compensating' the world for being a pain in the ass. Doing something for other people makes you feel more useful, and that;s a very good thing when you feel that you bother everybody.

And if you nee to talk, look for some support group in your area.

I haven't got the guts to do any of those - even though I'm so miserable with my life and whatever I try and do to better myself is never good enough. Fed up with it all. f**k life.

Find something that will kill you while you're asleep, then inject it before going to bed. That would be an awesome way to die.

I like the brains idea with the blasting caps, although have no idea where I would get them. I know I was gonna get really drunk to block out my senses and overdose on my anti depressants (which have a sedative in them) and anti anxiety meds. If I was still conscious I was then gonna slice my wrists. Suicide is always on the back of my mind too but I never made any serious attempts despite the plan, because of my family. For their sake I reached out for help. I found Aspergers to be a cause of the depression as well as other things but now I don't feel so bad getting support because I realize I need it if I am to continue to exist.

I got so fed up of people, of trying so hard, having to fight so hard to survive, of life- but with the support there I find it easier to ignore the suicidal thoughts and handle my depression better. I also found solitude to be a good thing for me especially when I get overwhelmed.
This forum has also been good for me because I can connect with a lot of people in similar circumstances while at the same time remain on my own.
